Wonderful little BnB near the center of town. Great location; the staff was wonderful, very well done typical European breakfast. Off the beaten path but just a short walk to all the sights.

Everything. Staff were perfect hosts, warm friendly and helpful. There is a pretty courtyard for breakfast and drinks in the evening. Rooms are charming and there are lots of good restaurants nearby. Nice quiet area. I felt very comfortable walking home at night

This property has been on Booking.com since Sept 20, 2011.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

WiFi worked but was just a little testy - depended on where in the room you were. Not a big deal to us at all.

Parking in Florence is not easy so we booked parking with the B&B for our classic car at what we were told would be 'a nearby location'. However, on arrival, we were given several versions of where the car was going and how it would get there. The roads around the B&B are very narrow, permit parking only, so I was given no option but to allow it to be driven by unknown persons (from the parking garage), to what was an unknown location which we found out later that day, was actually 15minutes or more away. In reality, if the car had been damaged, I shudder to think how it would have been dealt with by the insurers or how we would have got home. Be warned if travelling by car. As for the B&B, the bathroom was in need of an update and the aircon unit was inefficient and noisy.

The location was good and the ambience of the property was good; good breakfast with lots of choice, spacious room with a lovely view

Nothing was too much trouble from the moment we arrived - we had help with the luggage and then the car was whisked away to secure parking.(one thing you don't need in Florence is a car).
This is a family run business and the personal touch lends an air of genuine friendliness, which is very appreciated, and creates fond memories.
The room came with quiet and efficient air conditioning, a large wardrobe, a large bed and a bonus in the form of a balcony. It was very quiet, no traffic noise whatsoever. Breakfast was, for a small, family run establishment, of excellent quality and more than adequate to set one up for a day of 'acting the tourist' - (the writer lived in Italy and for us it was a case of, having 'been there, done most of that', strolling in the shade and soaking up the atmosphere). The location of the Residence can best be summed up as 'very convenient', being no more than a 10 minute shady walk to the Duomo.

Nothing. If you plan to spend a lot of time in your room, it might be smart to ask for one that is slightly bigger than the rooms on the top floor. It wasnt a problem for us as we were mainly walking around in the city.

The hosts were lovely and gave some good tips for visiting the city. The breakfast wasn't enormous, but everything you need (cereals,toast etc). The rooms on the top floor aren't very big, but the views largely make up for that. We loved staying in this small and cozy hotel

The location was perfect as we were able to walk to the spots that interested us as well as to restaurants. Our host was very kind and helpful and gave us good information about places to eat that were right on. The room had stained glass windows that were beautiful and in the morning the light came through one in such a way as to form a cross. The hotel just had this great old world charm feeling to it. The slippers in the bathroom and toiletries were a nice touch. I would gladly stay there again anytime. It was perfect!

I was told to get ready to check out at 11 am in a very stern and angry voice by the receptionist, it was not nice. It took me me 15 minutes to ge ready and I had to chuck everything into the suitcase and run down the stairs, I still left a 5 Euro tip, cause I felt it might not have been his fault. It must be that management requires the receptionist to make sure everyone leaves at 11am.
Rooms are not soundproof, I was awoken by at 2 am by hotels guests above me who were a bit noisy,
there was a fruit salad in the fridge which clearly was from previous guests, as it was opened and not part of the minibar items.

nice spacious room with a small balcony and a view into to the courtyard garden and the top of the Duomo, lovely stained glass windows.
bathroom amenities like shower gel and shampoo (which I did not use - but it is a nice touch) and slippers.
